We love to travel and explore new places - the culture, food, and art. We enjoy the outdoors, the ocean and beach and the mountains. At times we would like our adult daughter and a friend or another couple to join us in our travels.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our well cared-for primary residence is a 1940's Vintage Beach Cottage in the village of Laguna Beach, California, an artist colony on the "California Riviera".
Our cottage has a modest view of the ocean; it is a few blocks from beach. Our patio is private & serves as our outdoor dining room in the summer. We have an outdoor garden shower which is nice to use after a day at the beach. Our home sleeps 4 comfortably, however the queen fold-out couch in the living room makes a comfortable extra bed if necessary. When we have a house exchange we would like to be able to invite 1-2 travel companions to join us, and would be happy for you to do the same in our home.
Also, cleanliness is very important to us. We will have our home professionally cleaned before & after the exchange and would like this in exchange.
